Piping Handbook 7th Edition is a stunning book on the piping network system in the industry. It consists of five parts i.e. A, B, C, D and E. The handbook is authored by Mohinder L. Nayyar. The book is useful in many ways for engineers and students of mechanical piping design.
Part A consists of information on piping unit terminology including piping codes, piping components, metric/SI units, manufacturing of piping, U.S. Customary units, installation of piping, etc.
Part B explains the generic design considerations. It includes piping layout, piping supports, design bases, heat tracing, design documents, thermal insulation, the flow of fluids and stress analysis.
Part C reveals a specific type of piping system that includes fire protection, refrigeration, slurry and sludge, stormwater, hazardous wastes, ash handling, and laboratory piping systems.
Part D deals with thermoplastics piping and fiberglass piping systems.
Part E contains a reference on the technical information and data such as tables, pressure drop tables, tube properties, etc.
